Paper
Dolls was founded in January 1999 by a group of women who were determined
to show that women did not just sit home with the children waiting for
their men during WWII.

What
had seemed like a silly conversation turned serious, as we realized
that if we combined our efforts, and did things together, we could get
much further in gaining the respect of historians and other Living History
supporters.

We
portray women from all walks of life who each served their countries
in their own unique way, from the hometown sweetheart to French Partisans.
Some impressions include American Red Cross volunteers, Army and Nav
Nurses, women soldiers in the ATS, WAAF, USMC, WAC, CWAC and WAVE, German
DRK Nurses and Helferin, as well as the women pilots, and even Russian
snipers and infantry women. We have impressions for almost every wartime
nation. We do it all, and we are proud to do it well.
